Article Author: Al Barger

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at More Things. What with the paranoid religious visions, the Pentecostal music, visions of God and anarchy running amok and such, somebody …

    So that Martika "Best of ..." release is a CD single right?

    And is that Jon Benet Ramsey on the cover of Foto-makers?

    Pretty slim pickings indeed.

    Yeah, that Fotomaker album cover do look a tad on the pedophilic side, don't it? I'm sure Ashcroft would blow a vein if he saw it.

    So, do NOT send that album cover to the AG. Thank you.

    Yeah, the Fotomaker cover raised a few eyebrows the first time around, but it was a pretty cool album. Wally Bryson from the Raspberries, and Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli from the Rascals were in the band, which made it an almost automatic choice for me (I've still got the vinyl)."Where Have You Been All My Life" was a nice piece of power pop for its time, I seem to remember spinning it a lot along with the Searchers album that came out around the same time, the one with "Hearts In Her Eyes" and "Switchboard Susan".

    I loved that first Fotomaker album and I took the cover to be tongue-in-cheek - remember this was the late-'70s before such things came to a head.

    Well, I'm not really going to accuse them of anything bad based on an album cover. If they were really playing with underage girls, they probably wouldn't be advertising it on an album cover. Even Michael Jackson's smart enough not to put provocative pictures of little boys on his album covers.

    It's great to have Ambrosia's album Road Island
    finally released. The song Ice Age is a Prog
    Rock Gem. This album is a wonderful rock
    album.
